WHAT IT DOES

WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why tdarr_toggle_schedule needs a policy

This tool modifies library scheduling configuration, which is a reversible write operation. It does not delete data (Destructive), execute arbitrary operations (Execute), involve financial transactions (Financial), or merely read state (Read). The blast radius is medium because misconfiguring transcoding schedules could disrupt media processing workflows, but the change can be undone by toggling the schedule again.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'tdarr_toggle_schedule' and description 'Update the schedule of a library' indicate modification of configuration state. The word 'Update' is key—this creates or modifies data reversibly (a schedule can be toggled back).
